Kenny Rogers the Gambler Lyrics

• On a warm summer’s evening
• On a train bound for nowhere
• We were both too tired to sleep
• So we took turns a-starin’
• Out the window at the darkness
• The boredom overtook us
• And he began to speak

• He said, “Son, I’ve made a life
• Out of readin’ people’s faces
• Knowin’ what the cards were
• By the way they held their eyes
• So if you don’t mind my sayin’
• I can see you’re out of aces
• For a taste of your whiskey
• I’ll give you some advice”

• So I handed him my bottle
• And he drank down my last swallow
• Then he bummed a cigarette
• And asked me for a light
• And the night got deathly quiet
• And his face lost all expression
• Said, “If you’re gonna play the game, boy
• You gotta learn to play it right

• You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
• Know when to fold ’em
• Know when to walk away
• And know when to run
• You never count your money
• When you’re sittin’ at the table
• There’ll be time enough for countin’
• When the dealin’s done

• Every gambler knows
• That the secret to survivin’
• Is knowin’ what to throw away
• And knowin’ what to keep
• ‘Cause every hand’s a winner
• And every hand’s a loser
• And the best that you can hope for
• Is to die in your sleep”

• And when he’d finished speakin’
• He turned back toward the window
• Crushed out his cigarette
• Faded off to sleep
• And somewhere in the darkness
• The gambler he broke even
• But in his final words
• I found an ace that I could keep

• You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
• Know when to fold ’em
• Know when to walk away
• And know when to run
• You never count your money
• When you’re sittin’ at the table
• There’ll be time enough for countin’
• When the dealin’s done

• You’ve got to know when to hold ’em (when to hold ’em)
• Know when to fold ’em (when to fold ’em)
• Know when to walk away
• And know when to run
• You never count your money
• When you’re sittin’ at the table
• There’ll be time enough for countin’
• When the dealin’s done

• You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
• Know when to fold ’em
• Know when to walk away
• And know when to run
• You never count your money
• When you’re sittin’ at the table
• There’ll be time enough for countin’

Kenny Rogers lady lyrics

• Lady
• I’m your knight in shining armor and I love you
• You have made me what I am, and
• I am yours

• My love
• There’s so many ways I want to say I love you
• Let me hold you in my arms forever more

• You have gone and made me such a fool
• And I’m so lost in your love
• And oh, we belong together
• Won’t you believe in my song?
• Lady
• For so many years
• I thought I’d never find you
• You have come into my life and
• Made me whole

• Forever
• Let me wake to see you each and every morning
• Let me hear you whisper softly
• In my ear

• And in my eyes (In my eyes)
• I see no one else but you (I see no one else but you)
• There’s no other love like our love
• And, oh, girl I’ll always want you near me
• I’ve waited for you for so long

• Lady
• Your love’s the only love I need
• Oh, and beside me is where
• I want you to be (I want you to be)
• ‘Cause, my love
• There’s somethin’ I want you to know
• You’re the love of my life
• You’re my lady
